To make DSpace resistant to outages of DataCite we decided to separate the DOI support in two parts. When a DOI should be generated, reserved or minted, DSpace does this in its own database. To perform registration and/or reservation against the DOI registration agency a job has to be started using the command line. Obviously this should be done by a cron job periodically. In this section we describe the command line interface, in case you ever want to use it manually. In the next section you'll see the cron job that transfers all DOIs that should be reserved and or registered at the DOI registration agencydesignated for reservation and/or registration.
The command line interface in generals general is documented here: Command Line Operations. The command that takes care for DOIs is 'doi-organiser'. You can use the following options:
| Option (short) | Option (long) | Parameter | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| -d | --delete-all | Transmit information to the DOI registration agency about all DOIs that were deleted. | |
| --delete-doi | DOI | Transmit information to the DOI registration agency that the specified DOI was deleted. The DOI must be marked for deletion before, you cannot use this command to delete a DOI for an exisiting item. | |
| -h | --help | Print online help. | |
| -l | --list | List all DOIs those whose changes were not commited to the registration agency yet. | |
| -q | --quiet | The doi-organiser sendsends error reports to the mail address configured in the property alert.recipient in dspace.cfg. If you use this option no output should be given to stdout. If you do not use this option the DOI-Organiser put informationsdoi-organiser puts information about successful and unsuccessful operations to stdout and stderr. You can find information in dspace.log of course. | |
| -r | --register-all | Transmit information about all DOIs that should be registered. | |
| --register-doi | DOI | ItemID | handle | If a DOI is marked for registration you can trigger the registration at the DOI registration agency by this command. Specify either the DOI, the ID of the item, or its handle. | |
| -s | --reserve-all | Transmit information about all DOIs that should be reserved to the DOI registration agency. | |
| --reserve-doi | DOI | ItemID | handle | If a DOI is marked for registration you can trigger the registration at the DOI registration agency by this command. Specify either the DOI, the ID of the item, or its handle. | |
| -u | --update-all | If a DOI is reserved for an item, the metadata of the item will be send to DataCite. This command transmit new metadata for items those metadata were changed since the DOI was reserved. | |
| --update-doi | DOI | ItemID | handle | If a DOI needs an update of the metadata of the item it belongs to, you can trigger this update with this command. Specify either the DOI, the ID of the item, or its handle. |
Currently you cannot generate new DOIs with this tool. You only can send information about changes in your local DSpace database to the registration agency.
